I dunno why so many people are dunkin on Ubisoft here. Sure, they make shit, but they're commenting on an industry wide issue.
and it's not just their industry. People are also going out to the movies less. Restaurant profits are down as people are staying in more often. I haven't checked, but I imagine bars are likely struggling right now as well. It's almost like Western economies are reaching a breaking point, and people are unable to afford anything beyond the bare necessities.
I did! The outcome has been that I go to the gym now lol, these days about 2-4 times a month depending on how I feel. I was trying to chase the dragon of a tight tummy for the first
six months and was regularly going 3 times a week, but slowed down once I realized that my bloating probably has other causes.
If you can seperate the author from the work, then yeah. There's nothing I can remember from a recent rewatch that's like tastelessly pervy in it. It does handle some mature themes, there's some episodes that deal with like SA and stuff like that, but it was handled with levity.
That said, you'll probably still cringe a bit because there's parts of it that are so blatantly late 90s/early 2000s that they're just funny to think about now. stuff like the "internet ghost" is incredibly dated.
I've been trying to help fix it for like 15+ years at this point, I just genuinely don't see a path forward. This country was broken long before Trump, and people just didn't seem to care. Now that it's starting to personally hurt them, I've seen more people start to turn up, but many of them have the attitude of "I can't wait for this to be over." I expect as soon as Trump is out and replaced with a Democrat ghoul, a lot of the attendance at the meetings I go to will drop again.
When Balkanization starts getting put on the table as a serious solution that would meaningfully make things better, you know a situation is incredibly fucked.
I mean, I think it's fine as a gimmick for wealthy gamers, and it's been at that level for awhile.
As the future of gaming though? yeah, never gonna happen. M+KB is the best controlling scheme for tons of the genres I play, and controllers are great for a bunch of others. There's actually not that many genres that are improved by full body motion tracking, they're pretty much all first-person games, and they often turn a relaxing gaming session into a workout. It's not that the technology isn't there, it's that the concept it's fundamentally flawed.
The issue is that anyone with a functioning prefrontal cortex has known he's a pedophile since at least 2016, when it was released that he would regularly walk into the changing rooms at the child beauty pageants he would sponsor.
This whole controversy has really just been about desperately hoping the MAGA crowd would accept a single fact in their life if maybe it didn't come from mainstream media. The issue that I see is that the right-wing propaganda machine has completely given up on getting the Epstein files released. They're not gonna cover it, they'll call it a fake news attack by the Democrats, and that's the last thought the MAGA crowd will have on it. There was a very brief moment where they did care earlier this year, but Trump and specifically Mike Johnson have successfully delayed long enough.
the other issue is even if somehow it did break through and galvanized the MAGA base against Trump... so what? Trump has already made it abundantly clear he doesn't give a fuck about his base, the law, rules and norms, or really anything beyond consolidating his power and acting like a king. Would that base actually go so far as to vote Democrat in the midterm elections a year from now? Would they vote Democrat in 2028, assuming we even have free and fair elections by then? would they even still remember? at the end of the day, I think they hate the mythical idea of "The Left" that they've been sold too much to ever actually fight alongside us, so hoping the J6 crowd would try to actually save democracy this time is absurd.
I dunno who needs to hear this, but minimum wage workers do not care about you. They don't have the time or energy to judge you over silly stuff. If you make a minor faux pas, they might chuckle about it for a couple seconds at most, and then they have to get back to work.
In my experience working a few different fast food jobs, the only customers I still remember are the ones who were incredibly rude assholes or straight up threatened my life. If someone was generally friendly and came in like 10-12 times a month, I would maybe remember their name. Typically though, the only thing that was on my mind was making it through my shift, and trying to figure out what food I could steal so I could eat dinner that night.
6-7 is the same as Damn Daniel or What Are Those, it's just repetition of a viral meme
